Our fur baby

[Lady D]

Good luck tonight. I know how difficult it is to see our pets suffer - they're so innocent, loyal and loving. I'm sure Mo will be happy just to get back home to familiar surroundings and the family who loves him.

luvthebeach, there is going to be no bringing our baby home tonight. Just got a call from the vet. They did an abdominal tap of his abdomen and removed some fluid and put it under the microscope. He has peritonitis and unfortunately, way worse. They found many cells that resembled adenocarcinoma and believe it is widespread in his small intestine. They said they can send off the stuff to the lab and have it tested and it will be back to them in 24 to 48 hours. I don't see letting him linger and suffer any longer. Both vets looked at the cells and came to the same conclusion. They say he doesn't have much time. So it looks as if our decision has been made for us. I am crying buckets right now.

I am sorry. Let me share this with you. My daddy sent it to me when I had to put my beloved Molly down. It helped me alot. I wish for you peace and comfort during this sad time.

A DOG'S PRAYER
by Beth Norman Harris

Treat me kindly, my beloved master, for no heart in all the world is more grateful for kindness than the loving heart of me.

Do not break my spirit with a stick, for though I should lick your hand between the blows, your patience and understanding will more quickly teach me the things you would have me do.

Speak to me often, for your voice is the world's sweetest music, as you must know by the fierce wagging of my tail when your footstep falls upon my waiting ear.

When it is cold and wet, please take me inside, for I am now a domesticated animal, no longer used to bitter elements. And I ask no greater glory than the privilege of sitting at your feet beside the hearth.

Though had you no home, I would rather follow you through ice and snow than rest upon the softest pillow in the warmest home in all the land, for you are my god and I am your devoted worshipper.

Keep my pan filled with fresh water, for although I should not reproach you were it dry, I cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.

Feed me clean food, that I may stay well, to romp and play and do your bidding, to walk by your side, and stand ready to protect you with my life should your life be in danger.

And, beloved master, should the great Master see fit to deprive me of my health or sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather hold me gently in your arms as skilled hands grant me the merciful boon of eternal rest ---- and I will leave you knowing with the last breath I drew, my fate was ever safest in your hands.

Oh lady..I am so very sorry My heart hurts for you and Mo. I think under the circumstances you are making the right decision. No sense for him to suffer any longer. I know how very hard this is for you; but Mo won't know any better and will not be in pain. It is you and your family who will be hurting.

You're all in my prayers. God bless you as you go through this, especially this evening. Give Mo a special kiss from all of us who don't know him but feel sad with you.
